As a landlord, working with a lettings agent you can trust is essential. At Willmott & Lake, we are dedicated to helping you maximise your rental yields while minimising void periods. With a range of services including landlord advice, property marketing, tenant sourcing, tenancy coordination, inventory management, and deposit protection, we are proud to offer a complete lettings service tailored to your needs.

Whether you own a single buy-to-let property or have a large investment portfolio, our lettings specialists are here to assist with everything from negotiating offers to preparing tenancy agreements.

At Willmott & Lake, we bring years of local knowledge to the table. Our expertise in Bishop's Stortford and the surrounding areas allows us to provide honest and accurate valuations based on current market conditions and relevant comparable evidence.

We're also happy to advise you on how to achieve the best price for your rental, from necessary improvements to meeting safety regulations. Even if you're months away from making a decision, we'd love to visit and start building a relationship. Request a free, no-obligation valuation to get started.

It's important to work with an agent you trust and feel comfortable with. At Willmott & Lake, you'll deal directly with the company directors, who are personally invested in ensuring you receive the highest level of service. Our success depends on getting the job done efficiently and keeping you fully informed every step of the way.

We encourage you to check our Google reviews to see what other landlords and tenants have said about working with us.

From tenant finding and move-ins to full management of the tenancy, we tailor our service to suit your needs. Whether you want a hands-on approach or prefer us to take care of everything, we have flexible options for every landlord.

Navigating the safety regulations for letting a property can be complex. As professional agents under the jurisdiction of the Property Redress Scheme, we ensure your property complies with the latest legal requirements, from gas safety to electrical standards.

Once your property is ready to market, we'll arrange professional photography, floor plans, and measurements to showcase your home at its best. We're happy to advise on refurbishments or staging to maximise tenant appeal.

After signing our terms of business, your property will be listed on our website and major portals such as Rightmove. We'll also promote it through our social media channels and extensive database of prospective tenants to ensure maximum exposure.

We accompany all prospective tenants during viewings, offering flexible scheduling to meet everyone's needs. If you can leave us with keys, we can show your property even more efficiently, reducing disruption to your day and helping find suitable tenants quickly.

Once an offer is accepted, we arrange comprehensive referencing through a regulated agency, covering personal, work, financial, and previous landlord checks. We'll draft the tenancy agreement, organise any required safety certificates, and prepare the property for move-in, including cleaning and inventory services if needed.

On move-in day, one of our agents or inventory clerks will meet the tenants at the property for a handover. If we're managing the property, we'll handle everything from utility notifications to council tax updates.

Together, we'll ensure the letting process is smooth and successful from start to finish.

Whether you're letting your first property or managing a portfolio, trust Willmott & Lake to deliver expert advice, outstanding service, and peace of mind.
